SALMON IN MAINE RIVERS.
Fish and Game Commissioner Stanley was
among the gentlemen around the Capitol to-
day. He thinks that the salmon caught in
the Kennebec at Augusta this spring is as
very hopeful Indication that the Kennebec
may again become great salmon river. In
recent years svery few salmon indeed have
been taken, and these were all strays ones
or old ones left from the tribe that frequent
ed the river before the dams shut them off
from the upriver spawning grounds. But
the salmon caught this spring at Augusta
was nine FOUNDER about and this weight
is significant; A little more than three
years ago the Commissioners put into the
headwaters of the Kennebec into Moosehead
Lake and some small streams in Weld. some
young salmon. These in due time went
I down river to the sea to pass their youth. 1t
is now time for them, as grown up fish, to
again seek the streams where they were
Graded; and Mr.. Stanley thinks that this
fish is one of the vanguard of the returning
salmon. The river is now supplied with fish
ways at all the dams, so that the fish may
reach their spawning grounds without
trouble.
About the same time that the young sal
mon were put in the Kennebec waters there
were others put in Androscoggin waters.
But Mr.. Stanley says he has little hope that

salmon river. There are falls at Brunswick,
at Lisbon Falls, at Lewiston, which Mr..
Stanley thinks would make more climbing
than the salmon would want to undertake,
provided there were fish ways. He rather
thinks that the salmon Matched in the An
droscoggin WILL as the two rivers have the
same mouth, keep on up the easier Kennnbec
to spawning grounds. But it may be that
their instinct will not allow them to be de-
fected from their true birth places.

stocked, and promises to be good salmon
river.
Besides the Penobscot the only other river
in Maine likely to oe good fishing ground for
salmon is the st. Croix. This year the COM
miissioners mis- have put 100000 Young salmon
an equal number.
WOMEN AS SCHOOL SUPERVISORS.
Speaking of the schools of the State, Su-
perlntendent Luce said today that the prac-
tice OF electlng women as supervisors had
grows greatly within the last six years. Be-
fore that the women often found places on
committees, but no town would venture to
give to single woman the sole authorize
over the schools. Six years ago a law was
passed that ended the doubt, and now MANY
towns in this State are beginning to give the
control Of their schools @ to female supervis-
ors Of the 700 or 800 towns that have their
schools looked after by supervisor, about
50 this year have elected women supervisors.
Superintendent Luce says that they make
in attention to duty. Then, too, woman
can often work reforms that would. if at
tempted by a man, raisea hornets nest in a
conservative town.

Philadelphia Doctors Surrender after
Long Fight.

The County Medical society, of Philadel-

admit woman physician, DIR. Broomall to
membership. The North American makes
these comments in announcing the decision:
"There is no reason why women should not
practise medicine with profit to themselves
and benefit to the community, and the best
thing their professional brethren can do is to
extend to them in a liberal and generous
spirit the right hand Of fellowship. They
nay not like the idea of having the number
of their competitors in an already over
crowded field increased, but they ought to
bid the women welcome all the same. A free
field and no favor-that is the American
principle.
